| Is it ok to vacuum a cat? A friend told me that they did and the cat liked it, but afterwards it slept for an unusually long time-?? | | | |

| | Why would a cat be vacuumed? There are a number of good combs and brushes for removing excess fur! I don't know whether it is safe to vacuum a cat but would not recommend it. | | | |

|  I have never heard of vacuuming a cat before..... better not use the powerhead of the vacuume, or you might find your cat in the canister

| | Actually the powerhead is what was used. But the cat is fine- from what I hear. I just didn't know whether this was a good idea or not- you never know, and peer advice can be so helpful. | | | |

| Yes but did you use the powerhead part? Apparently that isn't a good idea- I don't know. I vacuum my dogs but they don't like it | | | |

| No messing around with Sampson, or the real *wild* cat appears in him and yet he sleeps at night with his mama holding his "hand" ...typically a couple hours after he's devoured a 12 oz. raw rib-eye GOD I love that boy | | | |

| | I just had a mental image of buzz cut newfs......I saw an Old English Sheepdog on the beach in St. Augustine a few years back and it took me a while to figure out what it was 'cause it had a buzz cut. I kept thinking, d*** sure looks familiar..... | | | |

| Gosh, my cat hides for hours when I vacumm. The vacumm is his arch enemy.
But I did just get the Furminator brush/comb thing they advertise it on this site. It's really awesome. I highly recomment it for both cats and dogs. I used it on both. My cat really loved it, but he loves being brushed in general. | | | |
